We welcome everyone...

As long as you believe in what we believe.

That's a perfect advert for the left. They all say the same thing, we respect everyone's beliefs but we won't tolerate beliefs we believe in our subjective opinion to be intolerant.

i'm just wondering why have a thread on this at all..


I started it for a couple of reasons:

1. I love hypocritical asinine statements such as "we welcome everyone, except the people we don't welcome." I'm not racist, but here's a racist statement. Etc...

2. Cowbell wants this message heard, I thought I'd help them.

3. I enjoy pointing out hypocrisy and half-truths.

Did they virtue signal like this company? Maybe that's your difference.

in principle, its the exact same argument, just made from the other side... whether they made reference to it or not, the fact that a private business owner decided to not serve particular persons is the point...

and whatever... don't make any difference to me, just like bakeries decisions didn't make me any difference... that's on them, though i think, as a business owner, it's incredibly shortsighted

So it's short sighted to not take the money of a Nazi?

oh... okay... that's cool...

i was just wondering... seemed a little more loaded than that, but i've been wrong about tone from certain posts before, as we all have, so i'll go with your word...

as a business owner, i'm not worried about what comes out of your mouth, in a political sense, i'm worried about what comes out of your pocket... may seem simple, but at the end of the day, i got bills to pay, mouths to feed, and other customers to keep happy....

Get a good Nazi crowd working and see what happens to your customers.

That's why places end up charging cover charges.

I've got a lot of friends that actually have spoken highly of this place. I'll be pointing them to this thread.

I've only been there once. Wasn't impressed at all. I don't understand why mediocrity would try to make itself extinct at a faster rate.

Guess I gotta leave my 3rd Reich uniform at home when I go there.

Actually I've never been there so I don't care.

Private company. No problem with this. Don't see how anyone could have a problem with this.


There is a difference between people having a problem with them being ABLE to do this. I think almost all of this board would agree with their legal right to do so.

But that doesn't not make them immune to criticism for their actions.

Never been to Cowbell and now I know I won't be dining at their fine establishment.

If you had a bad burger experience at Cowbell... then let them know about it.

Can you go if you hate white people, hate working for a living, hate Christians, hate families and heterosexuals?

I'm sure somehow they will find a way to stay open since you have chosen to take your business elsewhere. It will be hard to absorb the loss of $1.00 you spend there.

I've been to Cowbell a good 5-7 times within the past few months. I think their hamburgers are really good. Plus my girlfriend loves the place.

After this I don't think I'll be going back again.
